🐞 bug report

Affected Rule

This might be related to how wheel_installer is invoked.

Is this a regression?

No, 1.4.1 and https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/3115 (commit https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/commit/75871bbb9b33723c60565de0d7959c3262f87337) have this problem. 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 likely also have this problem, but I can't confirm since .tar.gz installation is broken in those releases (see #3131).

Description

Running a py_test target with PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV set to true results in errors if one of the dependencies is installed from a .tar.gz URI. Adding common --action_env PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=false to .bazelrc can be used as a workaround.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true in the shell. Then follow the minimal reproduction steps in #3131 but for rules_python 1.4.1 or https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/3115 (commit https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/commit/75871bbb9b33723c60565de0d7959c3262f87337). 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 would fail with a different error due to #3131.
